The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as a long term evolution (LTE). A method for communication by a base station is provided. The method includes transmitting a scheduling assignment including a first part of a destination identifier (ID), and transmitting a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) including a MAC header including a user equipment (UE) ID and a second part of the destination ID.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first part of the destination ID is a least significant bit (LSB) part of the destination ID, and the second part of the destination ID is a most significant bit (MSB) part of the destination ID.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the control information further includes a first part of a source ID, and the MAC PDU further includes a second part of the source ID.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the first part of the source ID is a least significant bit (LSB) part of the source ID, and the second part of the source ID is a most significant bit (MSB) part of the source ID.
5. The method of claim 3, wherein the first part of the source ID is used for filtering packets at the physical layer of the UE, and the second part of the source ID is used for filtering packets at the MAC layer of the UE.
7. The UE of claim 6, wherein the first part of the destination ID is a least significant bit (LSB) part of the destination ID, and the second part of the destination ID is a most significant bit (MSB) part of the destination ID.
8. The UE of claim 6, wherein the control information further includes a first part of a source ID, and the MAC PDU further includes a second part of the source ID.
9. The UE of claim 8, wherein the first part of the source ID is a least significant bit (LSB) part of the source ID, and the second part of the source ID is a most significant bit (MSB) part of the source ID.
10. The UE of claim 8, wherein the first part of the source ID is used for filtering packets at the physical layer of the UE, and the second part of the source ID is used for filtering packets at the MAC layer of the UE.
